Zhang Ping opened the cave and forbade him to enter the cave according to what Wen Xiu said. The cave is not big, with only two rooms. The outer one has a stone table, stone benches, and futons, while the inner one has only a wooden bed and a large cabinet.

Zhang Ping excitedly spread the burden on the stone table, opened the burden and directly took out the exercises given by the master and read it carefully.

This exercise is called Song Xuan Jue, the middle-level high-grade wood system exercise, the exercise is a great achievement, and the vitality is unlimited.

Not only can you heal yourself from injuries and transform others, but you can also lure out the vitality of others, which is very evil.

He took out two other things, the same as the Cleansing Pill, which was a pill the size of a red fingernail, and it also exuded bursts of Dan incense. Senior Brother Wen told him that the talisman and the elixir must reach at least the first level of the spirit gathering level, and he can only use it after he can visualize and use the spiritual energy. The other is a red talisman with a realistic three-eyed winged tiger drawn on it. Zhang Ping shook his head and put the two things back into the package. I carefully studied the book of pine mysteries.

The cultivation method of Song Xuanjue is similar to other exercises in the early stage, which is to introduce spiritual energy into the body and wash the essence and cut the essence. When practicing, you need to find a place with a strong aura, sit on the ground, and meditate on oneness. Start with a slow inhalation, introduce the Linghua in the qi into the dantian, warm for a while, and disperse the qi of the dantian in the veins around the body and slowly filter out the turbidity from the mouth, running at least one hundred and eight days a day without interruption to see results. The exact number of weeks to practice depends on your qualifications. According to Zhang Ping's wood attribute spiritual root, even at the beginning of cultivation, he could practice at least thirty-six days a day, and then increase.

Zhang Ping sat cross-legged on the futon, took a deep breath and began to practice according to the exercises. At the beginning of the cultivation of this exercise, it was not very difficult, and it mainly depended on the qualifications. It stands to reason that the spiritual root that Zhang Ping has is superior, but Zhang Ping has been cultivating the law, and it is already very difficult to inhale the spiritual energy in the dantian, and it is impossible to filter out the turbid qi to wash his body.

"It's strange, according to the book, people with ordinary spiritual roots will at least feel qi when they practice the exercises, why can't I feel anything? I have been practicing according to the exercises for more than half a month, and my body should have changed somewhat, so why don't I feel it at all. However, the book says that there is a kind of Heavenly Spirit Root possessor, and it is impossible to feel the aura at the beginning of cultivation, because there is no obstacle to the absorption and dispersion of the aura into the hundred veins. Could it be that I am the Heavenly Spirit Root?!" Zhang Ping sat on the futon and thought hard for a long time, during this time, in addition to eating and sleeping, he was practicing on the futon, but he still couldn't feel the aura entering the body.

Zhang Ping stood up from the futon, stretched his waist and said, "No matter how much, go to the pharmacy to get the pill first." ”

Zhang Ping walked out of the cave and walked in the direction of the pharmacy pointed out on the map.

Every month, the Chinese Medicine Bureau will be very lively, and this is the day when all the disciples of the Qingyu Sect receive the pills used in cultivation. The more Zhang Ping walked forward, the more disciples he encountered, and these disciples mostly wore blue or green clothes, and when they saw Zhang Ping wearing white clothes, they would automatically let go of some of them, with envy and respect in their eyes.

"Senior Brother is a disciple of Elder Changqingzi?" asked a blue-clothed fat Taoist boy about ten years old with a little respect.

"Senior brother doesn't dare to be, my name is Zhang Ping, and the master is Changqingzi. How does Senior Brother know?" Zhang Ping also replied respectfully.

"Senior brother may have just come to our Qingyu Sect, the disciples of our Qingyu Sect are particular about what they wear in the sect, the outer disciples are all wearing blue clothes, the inner door is green clothes, the core disciples are all wearing purple clothes under the Taishang Elder Middle Elder, the second elder is wearing white clothes, and the third elder is wearing red clothes. As for what disciples who go out on a mission or are not in the sect wear, the sect does not have regulations. I am Fang Siyuan, an outer disciple of Elder Feng of the Pharmacy, and I have met Senior Brother Zhang!" Fang Siyuan said with a snort.

"Senior brother doesn't have to be so polite. Zhang Ping hurriedly returned the salute and said. "When the junior disciple first came to practice, he didn't have much ability. In the future, if there is anything to ask the senior brother for advice, I hope that the senior brother will not hesitate to give advice. ”

"Senior Brother Zhang is polite. Senior brother, let's go to the pharmacy, you and I can go together. Fang Siyuan said.

After a while, the two of them walked to the door of the pharmacy.

The elder who was now presiding over the distribution of pills in the pharmacy was none other than Fang Siyuan's master, Elder Feng. Elder Feng was dressed in yellow, with red hair and black beard, and his body was slightly fat. Sit behind a nanmu table and close your eyes to recuperate. In front of the table, there were two blue-clothed Dao people busy distributing pills to those in line.

"Wu Nian, a disciple of the outer sect of Baicao Garden, will gather two spirit pills!"

"Song Guanghe, a disciple of the inner sect of Lingyun Pavilion, has three spirit pills and one spirit pill!"

"Shui Cheng'an, a disciple of the outer sect of the Tiger Ben Hall, will receive two elixirs!"

One of these two people distributes pills, and the other carries a pen record, and they are very skilled in cooperation.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I am an outer disciple, and I have to queue up here to receive the pill. But you core disciples can get it directly without queuing. Fang Siyuan said.

"I'd better line up with you, I just came to practice and cut the line directly so as not to swagger. Zhang Ping shook his head and said.

"Senior brother's words are wrong, you and I are only called swaggering when you line up together. This group of blue clothes is sandwiched with white clothes, not to mention that the senior brothers who are queuing up with you are uncomfortable, and they have lost the rules of our sect. Fang Siyuan said.

"Then I'll go get the pill first, you line up here, I'll wait for you outside the pharmacy after I finish taking it." ”

"Good. ”

After Zhang Ping finished speaking, he walked to the two of them, hugged his fists and said, "Two senior brothers, I am Zhang Ping, a disciple of Elder Changqingzi, and I have come to receive the pill before. ”

Both of them were stunned, and they both looked back at Elder Feng behind them. Elder Feng's eyes also opened, and after looking at Zhang Ping's clothing and waist card, he got up and said, "You are Elder Changqing's newly accepted disciple, right?"

"Exactly. Zhang Ping made a mockery.

"Okay, Zhang Ping, the core disciple of Changqingzi, will receive five spirit pills and three spirit pills!" Elder Feng took out a brocade bag from his arms after saying it and handed it to Zhang Ping.

"Thank you, Elder Feng!" Zhang Ping said again.

"No, I don't. After Elder Feng finished speaking, he returned to his seat and closed his eyes to recuperate.

At this time, the disciples lining up behind all looked at Zhang Ping, although no one spoke. But there are more or less emotions expressed in the eyes, some are envious, some are not cut, and some are curious.

Zhang Pingye ignored the gazes of others gathered on him, walked to the stone bench outside the pharmacy and sat on it and waited.

"Senior Sister Ye and Senior Sister Yang are here!" said an inner door in a queue in a low voice. It was this small voice that caused a commotion among the disciples. Elder Feng also opened his eyes and looked at the door.

Two women were slowly approaching at the door. The two of them turned a blind eye to the commotion and walked up to Elder Feng one after the other. There is a person in front of him with pink eyebrows and pink eyes, and he is dressed in pink. The person behind him has a good face, dressed in red, and there is a vertical red mark on the center of his eyebrows, which is Yang Lingyun.

Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Elder Feng got up: "Senior Sister Gu, Senior Nephew Yang, you are also here." I was thinking about asking my disciple to send this month's elixir to your cave. ”

"Don't dare to bother Senior Brother Feng, let's get it ourselves. The woman with the ancient surname led by said lightly.

"Okay, Master Bai Hong's core disciple Gu Chu Yao has five bow tie elixirs and three Bai Qi pills! Yang Lingyun, the core disciple of Master Bai Hong, has gathered five spirit pills and three knot spirit pills!" After Elder Feng finished speaking, he took out two brocade bags from his arms and gave them to the two of them. The two of them were about to leave after thanking Elder Feng, when Gu Chuyao suddenly saw Zhang Ping not far away, so he walked over with Yang Lingyun.

"Senior brother, is Zhang Ping, the new apprentice of Uncle Changqingzi?" Gu Chu Yao said.

"Exactly. Zhang Ping replied politely.

"Oh, I worshipped Uncle Changqingzi as my teacher at a young age, it's really a fairy fate, and the junior brother has to cultivate hard!" Yang Lingyun next to him said with a smile.

Zhang Ping remembered his sister's teachings. Zhang Ping bowed respectfully and said. By the time Zhang Ping looked up, the two had already left.

After a while, Fang Siyuan finished receiving the pill and trotted all the way over.

"Hey, brother, what were you talking about with Senior Sister Gu and Senior Sister Yang just now?"

"I didn't say anything, they were just curious to say hello to me. Zhang Ping looked at the backs of the two of them and said.

"This ancient master is amazing, it is said that he was carried back to the door by Master Bai Hong at the age of three, began to cultivate at the age of four, reached the middle stage of gathering spirits at the age of seven, successfully built the foundation at the age of fourteen, and now has reached the middle stage of foundation building at the age of twenty-eight. When it came to the foundation building period, we shouldn't have called her Senior Sister, but since she was not very old, we usually called her Senior Sister, and when we called her, she promised to keep calling her. As for the Senior Sister Yang in the back, it is said that she just came back from completing a task outside the door some time ago, and she has reached the peak of gathering spirits, and was favored by Master Bai Hong and accepted as a disciple, probably to help her build a foundation. ”

"I see!" Zhang Ping said.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I still have to refine medicine with Master in the pharmacy, so I'll go back first. Let's get back together in our spare time. Fang Siyuan hugged his fists.

"I'm really bothering my brother today, I'll invite my brother to tea when I'm free. Zhang Ping also hugged his fists.

Zhang Ping returned to the cave and sat cross-legged on the futon. He took out the brocade bag he had obtained today from his arms, and remembered that there had been no progress in his cultivation in the past half a month, and said anxiously in his heart: "I have been practicing the exercises for half a month, and I have not made any progress, so I must make a breakthrough today! This Gathering Spirit Pill is not like the Junction Spirit Pill and the Soul Cleansing Pill, and people who have not entered the Na Ling Realm can also eat it." With that, Zhang Ping picked up a Gathering Spirit Pill in front of him, showed firmness in his eyes, sat cross-legged on the futon, and swallowed the Gathering Spirit Pill in his hand. Then absorb the aura in the cave as described in the Song Xuan Jue. However, after half a pillar of incense, Zhang Ping still didn't feel much about the aura. Zhang Ping slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still firm. Eat the remaining two Gathering Spirit Pills and continue to exercise. After another stick of incense, Zhang Ping still didn't feel anything unusual in his body. Zhang Ping opened his eyes again, and his eyes showed madness: "I don't believe it, I can't even do the most basic sense of heaven and earth aura, can it really be a naïve spiritual root?!" In the chapter on the introduction of the spiritual root of Song Xuanjue, it is mentioned that there is a spiritual root called the immature spiritual root, although this spiritual root is measured by various methods to be a normal spiritual root, but because there are too many meridians in the body, it cannot sense and absorb the spiritual energy, and it cannot be cultivated, but the probability of this spiritual root appearing in the entire Zhongzhou for hundreds of years will also appear one. Zhang Ping was still sitting there cross-legged, motionless, for a long time, Zhang Ping slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were red: "Childish Linggen, Childish Linggen... Alas, everyone has a life. Even if you can't cultivate, it's still good to go home and continue studying. Zhang Ping thought that he would definitely be laughed at by the villagers if he was sent back, but after all, his family was good, and his father was the village head, so this incident should not have much impact on him, but he had failed his parents and teacher.
